Experience

As Head of UX Design for an oil derivatives trading company, it has been my responsibility to generate an understanding of user needs from traders, brokers and other user types, and share that understanding across the firm, helping to guide strategic decisions from the executive level down with provable evidence of need to guarantee successful outcomes in revising complex trading, data and information platforms.

I previously ran my own design solutions company, contracting myself out as a UX Design consultant to companies such as Somo, Clyde & Co, Open Business Associates, PGA Design and Carter Camerons.
